Pančevo Bridge

The Pančevo crossing is a steel truss bridge spanning the Danube that carries both car and rail traffic. Its structure features a distinctive lattice framework with visible steel beams supporting the dual-level roadway and railway tracks above.

The original crossing was destroyed during World War II and later rebuilt by Soviet engineers. Its reopening in 1946 marked an important step in the city's recovery after the war.

The bridge links the city center with industrial areas across the river and remains a daily crossing for people moving between both sides. It shapes how residents experience the geography of this part of the city.

The crossing is built for cars and trains and connects the southern part of Belgrade directly with the north. If you want to walk across it, you can do so, though it is primarily designed for motorized traffic.

For many years this was the only permanent crossing over the Danube in the city until another bridge was built elsewhere. This long period of being the sole connection makes it historically noteworthy.
